In today's world, tactics rule. True strategy takes too long in the impatient framework of instant gratification. To some degree (or to a large degree) we are all guilty of this. I saw much of this at work during me days in the reseller business in Brisbane from 1997 to 1999. It is difficult to convince customers of long term benefits when they don't fully trust you in the first place. Tactics win the day based on no trust and no long term relationships. Strategy wins for long term bonds and obviously a high degree of trust. Getting that trust is usually the hardest thing. Once you have that you can open all kinds of doors. Thanks for the excellent post. This is so true. In today’s world, tactics rule. True strategy takes too long in the impatient framework of instant gratification.
